Currently there is no hide on minimise option. Closing the Evernote window however will close the window but leave an icon in the tray, allowing you to click to restore it (or other options that you can define by right clicking the icon)

For me it is NOT good enough. In many occasions I want my windows taskbar to have only my "active" applications.

So because there's no option to minimize Evernote to the notification area (the "system tray"), I need to click close button which takes a few seconds (EN needs to sync). Now when I need to write another note I need to launch EN again which which takes another few seconds. This "cycle" continues again and again throught the day...

There is; it's Alt+F4, obviating the following:

/*WinRestore and WinShow are not strictly necessary as invoking an Evernote window(either by a shortcut or the tray icon) will show the window again.It is included anyway for my peace of mind and will act on first running of the script.*/

All the Best.

I guess I don't know what you mean. When you click the X in the right corner Evernote is NOT exiting, it is still running in the background and the Evernote tray icon is there (it's always there when EN is running). You can click the icon and EN opens immediately Or you can use your new note hot key.

You can verify this by watching Taskmanager and see that the Evernote process does not close when the main window is closed.

This is why I said... "good enough".

No Bob, the Evernote process DOES close when the main window is closed. Evernote.exe is gone and only EvernoteTray.exe is still running.

Yes, Bob. Using Process Explorer, I can see that Evernote.exe is still running after having clicked the [x] in the right corner. Alt+F4 will give you the same effect. You do not need to wait for sync to complete in this case, and you can restore Evernote to availability by activating it from the notification area, or by using one of a couple of Windows hot keys (Alt+Shift+F, for one, which opens up Evernote and puts you into the search control, ready for a new search).

You must be running a different version than I am.

This jing shows that when I close my Evernote window using the X in the upper right corner the Evernote.exe process is still running.
